The Adventures of Baron Munchausen

Almost every book illustrated by Mikhail Maiofis becomes a notable event in the world of book graphics, reflecting the artist’s imagination, inventiveness, and genuine talent. His style is immediately recognizable, with a distinctive visual signature that allows readers to say at once, “This is Maiofis!”

Maiofis seems to have a particular attachment to the character of Baron Munchausen. Several versions of his illustrations for this story exist, and his drawings for Bürger’s The Surprising Adventures, Voyages, and Amusing Exploits of Baron von Munchausen on Land and Water, Which He Usually Told over a Bottle of Wine among His Friends are often regarded as the pinnacle of his artistic achievement.
